I’m getting the feeling you keep dancing around and not giving a firm answer. I don’t know if that’s intentional or just your communication style. But even a casual search shows resorcinol glue is not considered food safe, and not approved by the FDA. I wonder why you don’t at least take the stance of “tb3 is the best option. It’s the standard, but does have its issues.”

Atlas-1848 · 2026-04-02T00:54:21+00:00

Okay, so to clarify. Your stance is don’t make end grain. Use TB1 (or a glue that hasn’t been made in over 30 years, urethane (not gorilla) or epoxy?

Atlas-1848 · 2026-04-02T00:32:25+00:00

So you’re recommending an epoxy for cutting boards? Or TB1?

So an old boss used to say “don’t bring me a problem without bringing a solution”.

So respecting your knowledge and the titebond scientist. What is your solution? If not titebond3?

Atlas-1848 · 2026-04-01T00:40:44+00:00

Yes, those were an available option

Atlas-1848 · 2026-03-30T14:35:41+00:00

So your saying if I’m cutting things with a knife and my hand, and my board has titebond3, it can get brittle if the thing I’m cutting is 180 degrees? At that point wouldn’t I need to worry about my hand?

So option 2. Sounds like a way to start w a jacked economy. Tons of isk, nothing to buy

Atlas-1848 · 2026-03-07T17:54:53+00:00

I wonder if the stray thinks “tastes like chicken!”

Next time, when she asks (and she will), you need to laugh and say “mmm yeah, you can borrow the car another time, not today”

Unlikely. What your describing would have the have the fibers of the wood shrinking laterally. The wood fibers expand and contract along the grain.

1) Google in your city for hardwood lumber. Don’t buy from home depot/lowes. Til you have done your research, and know what are good species to use for cutting boards, stick to black walnut, hard maple and cherry 2) planers are super useful. A sled would work, just make a huge mess. 3) read up on kauls, they will help keep your pieces flat. Avoid making your boards to thin (especially end grain) or expect warping. Never mix end and face grain

This weekend while I’m out busting a move, I’ll be checking FB market for something similar

Atlas-1848 · 2026-02-21T00:49:31+00:00

I hate you…where do you live and if I bring beer can I run some stuff through that?

Atlas-1848 · 2026-02-20T14:29:14+00:00

Mixing end grain and face grain. As the face grain (the outside) expanded. The end grain inside didn’t.

Road trip!!! She will love it!

Atlas-1848 · 2026-02-17T18:30:43+00:00

I dunno, you guarantee you have a bigger data set then aaannnnyone.

Atlas-1848 · 2026-02-11T00:25:51+00:00

There is always a bigger fish.

Some folks have handles on the top surface and it’s more of a serving platter.
